Best "hands free" bathroom faucet?

11-24-2009, 01:22 AM

Me again...I have posted a couple other "best of" questions, and I have another.
I would like to use a "Hands Free" faucet in the bathroom, as it only makes sense... why wash the germs off your hands to only "put" them back on when you turn off the water?

I am looking for the most reliable, but not too expensive model...

Again, thanks for all the help and suggestions, I really appreciate it!

We did a bunch of Sloans a while back. I don't care for them at all. You can't readily adjust the temperature (unless you opt for the above deck mixing valve for about $200 more) or the volume. I personally dont like brushing my teeth with tepid water or shaving with luke warm water. As I recall these faucets were about $650 a piece. You can get cheaper ones but they typically don't come with a mixing valve or drain, so you'll still end up spending over $400 for a POS.

my guess is that most of us don't put to many in. you ask about reliability, well i don't know. i mostly change batts and aerators. i've not seen any bad ones yet. to be honest i kinda like them. i'm 65, maybe i'm senile? having started with cold water only, then hot in the other bib next to it. well i still marvel to see how far we have came. if you want one i would certainly install it. you might start another thread and ask which ones are pos and why. we are better at telling about what doesn't work. breid...................
